it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":347.039,"end_s":352.639,"text":"all and recompile it so one of the other things that pop west does really well is it

76 is a bit of an odd company i mean when you think about it they've got all of these products that are relatively high end and yet it's all based on open source software from the thelio to the server to the oryx pro which is what we're looking at right now honestly i haven't unboxed this yet i've opened the box to see what's inside but this is the first time that it's actually going to be taken out this is a big box for a very small laptop this is a 15-inch laptop i got this kind of weird packaging method here everything is bound up in this rather heavy duty cardboard and uh plastic and what you're supposed to do is unfold it and it'll just slide right out like so that way you can reuse it and it cuts down on waste which is honestly quite awesome so let's get the main event out here ah that's better the inside of the box is pretty nice too actually when i stopped to look at it all around it are these these nerdy kind of designs like you can see the rocket ship there blasting off you've got uh some kind of crystal here uh yeah all kinds of really cool stuff here so that is definitely something you'd want to keep which brings us to the laptop as far as the aesthetics go it's a pretty standard design this is actually a clever unit that system 76 has customized for their own use so yeah it feels really nice glass track pad all metal exterior very thin bezels on the screen a little bit of wobble but it's not too bad but you might be asking yourself what's so special about it then it's a clever laptop that's running Linux and that is where things get very interesting this aside from the fact that it just runs Linux is running a custom firmware it's running core boot that system 76 has specifically engineered to allow it to not only use Thunderbolt but also NVIDIA switchable graphics it's kind of a first in that regard as far as i'm aware it may actually still be the only one that's capable of doing that and what that essentially means is you're going to be able to modify the firmware for yourself you can go on github download the firmware modify it build it and flash it i'd like to try to do that today that'd be nice but first our sponsor private internet access is a vpn that allows access to services and websites as though you're on a different country it encrypts all of your network traffic and uses a safe protected ip you can connect up to five devices at once with clients for Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux buy a one year plan for 39.95 and get two months for free at the link in the description below i didn't even notice this but the packaging here actually comes with a nice little cleaning cloth and what is this is this a thermal pad this looks like a thermal pad i guess they expect you to open it up which is honestly kind of neat it's also possible they expect thermal pads to degrade over time so they want you to be able to keep this for a while i'm guessing this would be a thermal pad for the chipset perhaps the embedded controller which if i had to guess probably mates to the bottom shell here so if you were to open it up to replace your RAM or upgrade your storage then uh yeah you've got this this nice little thermal pad here very nice nice standard but decent feeling power adapter okay so the power plugs into the back and it actually uh reminds me i've been so excited to just fire this up and play with it that i haven't even gone over the i o so on the back here we've got a Thunderbolt 3 port power HDMI displayport mini displayport actually over on the other side we've got a little expandable Ethernet port isn't that cute i remember the first time i saw those like 10 years ago i mean you used to be able to see them on pcmcia cards but whatever anyway we've got two usb 3.0 ports here and then around the other side we've got headphone jack microphone jack usb 3.0 and a micro sd card reader so this thing is pretty kitted out before i power it on let's have a feel for how the keyboard is it's got very striking lettering i'm not sure if that's a clever thing or a system 76 thing uh the keys themselves feel pretty solid they're they have a very um very stable throw actually system 76 those guys are actually kind of keyboard nerds in fact from what i understand uh i think it's jeremy one of the lead programmers over there our lead product designers over there actually flashed there are created and flashed their own keyboard layout for this computer so yeah that all feels pretty good a little bit of deck flex but i mean this is made of metal so you're not really going to have to worry about that too much and when you're typing there's nothing so let's go ahead and power it on i've never used a core boot enabled machine before press escape for boot options cool this trackpad feels amazing by the way holy crap it is buttery smooth one of the things that i love about popos is that it actually asks you right off the bat whether or not you want to encrypt your hard drive or SSD as it were what that lets you do is protect your machine say if it got stolen that way they need your password in order to access all your files so it's actually quite useful to have especially on a laptop but we're not we're not going to do that for now there's not really a whole lot of settings that you can change in the BIOS of this thing i guess that's the whole point of the core boot thing you can just change it all and recompile it so one of the other things that pop west does really well is it has all these integrations for online accounts so you've got google next cloud facebook microsoft flickr foursquare and your traditional enterprise imap and smtp and stuff what this lets you do is you can configure your email your calendar your cloud storage all that kind of stuff all at once from here you don't have to go through every single application and log in each time so we don't want to do any of that right now oh yes you can't really see this because i don't have any screen capture right now but the oryx pro has switchable graphics and it's saying that here that you can just switch it by going up to the menu here and toggling it uh that's great that's something that like i said i don't think has actually happened before now for a core boot enabled device this is not running any kind of proprietary firmware whatsoever it's it's mind-boggling because like this is a company again that is completely in the open ecosystem so firmware software even their custom designed chassis the thelio is open source and yet they're selling it and they seem to be doing pretty well this is popos you guys have maybe seen it before i've used it in a couple of videos now in our gaming on Linux updates and also in uh the pc build challenge that uh Linus and i went through uh it was a bit of a race and unfortunately pop os i'm gonna say it was half and half papa west let me down and i let papaws down because there were some configuration changes i could have made that would have made things a lot better suffice it to say popos is actually a pretty nice operating system it's a more or less stock uh gnome or gunno interface here so we've got our notification area up here we've got our um system tray up here which includes our wi-fi control sound control uh display brightness we got bluetooth our power settings the fan just kicked in for some reason it's getting warm yeah a little bit okay that's to be expected when running primarily on the dedicated graphics card and we have a quick access to our settings control panel here i won't go through all the different details of popos but yeah let's let's explore a little deeper for one looking at it it all really matches well like the the dark theme for popo s really matches with the theme of the theming of the machine don't you just love it when you download steam and then you launch steam for the first time and it's like updating steam what version of the NVIDIA driver we use in here 440.100 so it looks like this screen is not a freesync compatible screen otherwise we'd have the g-sync compatible button here which is fine but it is a 144hz panel and it is silky smooth it doesn't say what technology the display is that's a little unfortunate uh actually while i'm here what GPU is this it's an rtx 2080 super max q so that is the top of the line i believe they have them available in the rtx 2060 and 2070 as well so that's cool looks like 64 gigs of RAM so this thing is kitted out NVMe boot drive 512 gig i think steam is having trouble looks like there were some major maintenance run on it yesterday all right i'm going to give steam one more shot i'll switch to the us server nope wrecked all right gaming's not all this laptop has to offer anyway part of the whole appeal here is unleashing your potential if we want to build something i'm gonna have to install some build tools we're looking at a key map so there are two layers on a typical laptop keyboard your standard you know keyboard and then also the keys that you know happen when you press the function key so you can press function and plus and minus for example to change the backlight brightness of the keyboard you can press function and let's see f9 to increase the brightness of the monitor or f8 to decrease it uh f6 to enable the sound to go up and down those are all handled here this block here this upper block is our regular keys you can see we've got escape f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 blah blah blah and it's all laid out in the order you see them in your keyboard similarly we've got the same thing down here i'm not entirely sure why but there's not a whole lot assigned to function and you know the regular keys so let's just say for giggles let's let's change the uh let's change function t to something else well i mean let's just change it to l so we can just do function l and then tt or function t and then tt and we've got LTT now i need to close all running applications unplug everything from the computer aside from the power adapter meaning you'll lose screen cap sorry and run make flash internal i'm more excited than i should be for my stupid little custom key map because it really is truly stupid alright we're back let's open up our uh text editor and let's see what happens function t that looks like an l shift t that is capital l t t l l t t l l t t l l t t this is way more amusing than it should be but basically i can make any key on the keyboard any other key on the keyboard you can change the layout of the keyboard at your own whim and that's just the start of it you can change the the fan profiles you can change all kinds of stuff in the in the embedded controller here and that's all built into the the oryx pro like it's it's pretty amazing so what you're getting is basically complete control over the computer like the embedded controller handles like power delivery it handles the fan curves like i said the voltage curves the frequency curves all of that stuff is handled in the embedded controller and it is completely open for you the only problem is that there is a price to all of this which is 16.99 and that's for a 15.6 inch panel GeForce rtx 2060 and a 250 Gigabyte SSD which is SATA on the base model so you've got some upgrades to do but the good news is you can do them what is the price of freedom really you've got a completely open source operating system you can do whatever you want with you've got a completely open source firmware you can do whatever you want with you can adjust the internal specs of the computer as much as you want you can expand it with Thunderbolt you can choose to run it with or without the NVIDIA graphics card it's a cliche and i already used it in this video but it's basically the apple of the Linux world you're paying a premium but i mean you are getting a pretty premium machine i think it feels fantastic i think the philosophy behind it is fantastic the company behind it is pretty great the um the ceo i met him a little while ago at the um superfan three event he kind of gives me a hank scorpio vibe and like i want to support that again it's just how much are you willing to pay for it that's the question you have to ask these guys are premium you get a premium product is that what you want for Linux that's what i want but it's a question you're gonna have to ask yourself thanks for watching make sure
